I tried to buy a helmet for my son at longboard living but they didn't have any. Needless to say I was disappointed. I tried Hogtown on King Street and their selection was limited also. Finally I went to Sanction and they had a fabulous selection. Thank you Sanction for being knowledgeable and carrying ample stock of helmets and all kinds of safety gear. A concerned parent.

Hello,
I understand your worries, but believe me when I tell you that longboard living has done much, much more to support helmet awareness than any street skating store probably ever will. Seriously, downhill skateboarding culture is much more helmet supportive than street skating. The fact that longboard living didn't have an was probably just poor timing. Longboard living has had two sales this year, selling quality helmets really cheaply. To imply that they don't have concern for helmets is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard all summer.

Longboards are for people who are too scared to ride real skateboards.

what's a 'real' skateboard ripper? until you hit REAL speed on a long board i wouldn't mention fear. clearly you need to be reminded, skateboarding is an evolution inspired and drivin from surfing the waves in the ocean to those of concrete!--no board will get you closer to that of a long board my friend. YOU ARE MISSIN' OUT!!!...it's a different ride altogether and you should respect it like you should respect any other sport, gender or race...drop the ignorance, get educated,and GO LONG BOARDING! "kids tuh-day..."

Riding does not always have to be about speed or what's real or what's not. Its what suits the person and what they're looking to get out of the board underneath their feet. It should have nothing to do about the style of the board, but what the rider gets out of it.

Keep an open mind.

Just had my son, aged 13, and three friends out to Longboard Living for an hour long clinic. They had a great time and learned many new skills. Lots of great tips and individual attention. They can't stop talking about it and can't wait to go back. Thank-you Ryan and Sebastian!
